As we were not staying at the hotel (Mediteranee) they sat us away from the other guests, which was a bit strange. The hotel has groups for dinner often, but that didn’t bother us. First we got smoked ham,which was fine,but the white wine we ordered was warm! When we complained about it, the waiter gave us a big bowl of ice! The rump steak was like leather and we felt sorry for the bus group who had the same menu. The restaurant and its staff is obviously only geared for groups.

I've eaten there for convenience, not for the food! European dishes are served but it isn't very thrilling. Avoid the soup from the undissolved lumps in every one I've ever tasted there, my suspicions are that it comes out of a packet. It is expensive for what it is.

Breakfast the same every day. Accompanying vegetables only changed twice all week. Food over salted. I felt it wasn't a chef cooking, more like a very average self taught cook.

Hotel Restaurant, very good quality for the price. Not too expensive. Their Nicoise Salad is to die for. Buffet breakfast also very excellent. read more Hotel Restaurant, very good quality for the price. Not too expensive. Their Nicoise Salad is to die for. Buffet breakfast also very excellent.

Deux choix pour l'entrée et pour le plat avec des noms appétissants, mais une fois dans l'assiette... Rien d'incroyable. Ce jour là il y avait une escalope de veau avec des petits pois et une sauce caramélisée. Le veau était à peine cuit, la sauce était correcte mais les petits pois étaient quasiment crus... Le plat entier semblait être de l'industriel. En dessert, vous avez un buffet comportant plusieurs desserts, gâteaux et fruits, sans limite. A éviter dans la mesure du possible étant donné les nombreux petits restos aux alentours.
